How to do this

Archived from groups: alt.games.vgaplanets4 (More info?)

Let me rephrase what I said, and what I think you said.

Base1 = HW
FireStorm1 = Ship over HW
Planet2 = Planet I want to move my HW to.
Firestorm2 = Ship that will be over Planet2 before the end of the turn.


What I want to do is get Base1 moved to Planet2 by way of FireStorm1 to
Firestorm2. Firestorm2 will be over Planet2 at end of turn. (50 ly
away, going 80 speed)

So all I need to do is FireStorm1 sets Planet2 as Way point, and
because Firestorm2 will be over Planet2, Base1 will be chunneled over.

Does that sound better?

That sounds right. You set a planet as the chunnel target, and then
the host checks to see if there's a chunnel ship there after movement.
Your only mistake last time appears to be that you mistakenly set
Firestorm1's waypoint to Firestorm2, and not to Planet2.

I don't know really what you want but here are the ways a FCHC can chunnel a
base:

A base B is to chunnel to a planet P.
The conditions for this are:

Before ground chunnel phase at P has to be a chunneler and at B a ground
chunneler with P as WP.

There are several possibilities to get the needed ships at B and P:

o) they are there already
i) by actively chunneling
ii) by movement
iii) by being towed
iv) by exiting a JG
v) by exiting a WH (of couse B and/or P have luckily be at the exit)
vi) by passively chunneling or paxing
vii) at P there is a new chunneler built
viii) landing luckily after beeing bubbled.

Caution is needed when the ground chunnler first have to travel on its own
before reaching B. Then the course and the speed has to fit in a special way
because the chunneler has to end up exactly on the base which has to be
chunneled. As there still are rounding errors this situtation has to be
scripted and the right WP1 has to be found. My experience is that in most
cases B must not taken as WP1. Instead an off set is needed to let the
ground chunneler land exactly on the base at the end on the turn.

I hope it helps

And don't forget to activate the Ground Chunneling device! ;-))) You
also need at least 101 N on board of FS 1.

And kill all x-fields before! ;P
